Nigel<p>A laptop that came with Windows 11 Home installed but is somehow ridiculously under powered. Intel Celeron with two cores, 4MB ram, super slow disk module. It came with a bluetooth headset/headphones and a wireless mouse. This was on clearance for £45 including shipping.</p><p>I've bought it on a whim just to see how usable it is. I may try a selection of operating systems out on it for lolls.</p><p>What should I use it for ?</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.spowage.info/tags/cheap" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>cheap</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.spowage.info/tags/laptop" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>laptop</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.spowage.info/tags/windows11compatible" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>windows11compatible</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.spowage.info/tags/geobook" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>geobook</span></a></p>
